Lacquer Painting
Building on the workmanship of bodiless lacquerware, Fuzhou's lacquer painting has developed into an art form in its own right. Although just over a decade old, it has already found great popularity. In lacquer painting the artist can depict a wide range of subjects and images such as human figures, flowers, birds, animals and landscapes. Screens and wall hangings are the major forms this art takes, and are often bought to decorate hotels, restaurants or villas.
In addition to the above, Fujian also produces paper umbrellas, lacquer thread carvings and paper-cuttings. Fujian's varied and beautiful arts and crafts play an important role in the province's cultural heritage, while also contributing greatly to the development of both foreign trade and tourism.
